Hozan mentions that that foreign merchants had an interest in Doman produce. That the Domans may have traded with Eorzea in the past wouldn't be that great of a lore stretch.
Also I believe it was mentioned in another thread that Eorzea had traded with the Empire prior to the campaign against Eorzea, unfortunately I can't remember what thread stated this.
Perhaps a possible backstory for Gegenji could be that he comes from a family of merchants. His family enjoyed Doma so much they eventually settled there permanently.
As for the bar on Domans in Ul'dah, I would think of it as the way the Ala Mhigans are viewed. The Ala Mhigans are shunned but they still have a presence in Eorzea. Many settled in Little Ala Mhigo but others remained in Ul'dah, surely not all Domans were content to stay in Mor Dhona. As a Lalafell, you may be able to fly under the radar and walk about freely without discrimination, only raising suspicions if people notice you act differently than the locals.
Also, it is stated that there are still groups leaving Doma by sea. (Or this may have been alluding to the arrival of Oboro's group)
I'm not in the Doman FC myself but I can let them know if you're interested, also if you would like, I can invite you to our linkshell. I would be happy to help you with PvE things or RP some time.
(Edited some things because they were confusing and I got ahead of myself when typing them >< )
